"For Andrew Cuomo, this is a really important debate,"
"His numbers need to move the most."
"These attacks feel less and less focused on the needs of actual New Yorkers,"
"I think it's important that at a time of extreme inequality that we fund our public services and there's a lot of untaxed exorbitant wealth in New York City."
Andrew Cuomo was the overwhelming favorite heading into the Democratic primary but lost decisively and is now running as an independent in the New York City mayoral race. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows Zohran Mamdani leading with 46 percent, Cuomo at 33 percent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 15 percent. Cuomo is targeting moderate voters and supporters of former mayor Eric Adams to narrow the gap, making the upcoming general election debate especially important for improving his standing. Mamdani anticipates attacks from opponents and emphasizes prioritizing the needs of New Yorkers, while some supporters call for taxing untaxed exorbitant wealth to fund public services. Sliwa remains on the stage and plans a combative presence.
